I feel the need to update this for archive purposes. I continue to have nothing but problems with running the J Racing kit and a DSM half shaft bracket. It took 6000 miles for the problem to show up. The problem isn't the J Racing kit itself, its the fact that the stock CSM shaft bracket doesn't work with it. And by switching to the DSM bracket, that's what caused my issue. The DSM bracket doesn't align perfectly and it putting a downward pressure on the half shaft which is causing wear and stress on the bearing and differential inside the trans.
I've slotted the holes, shimmed and trimmed the bracket trying to get the shaft in alignment again but still no luck. I even cut the ear off the bracket so now it only has 1 bolt hole but I still have binding. It needs mode time on the grinder. I will make it work but it's been frustrating and certainly wasn't just a bolt on mod.
